Team Melissa (Captain: Meghan Carlson)

From the moment she stepped out of the limo in the first episode of The Bachelor, Melissa stood out. Her mile-wide smile and positive attitude set her apart from the rest of the bachelorettes this season. Now she stands as one of the final two competing for Jason Mesnick's heart. Even as drama erupted between the women during the first few episodes, Melissa stayed out of it and kept her eye on the prize, taking every opportunity to connect with Jason. And it paid off—of the two remaining women, Melissa definitely has the strongest connection with The Bachelor. With the final episode coming up, it's up to Jason to pick the love of his life. Here's why he should (and will) pick Melissa, plus a few reasons why he might make a crazy mistake and not do so.Pros:
Maternal Instinct. Melissa not only says that she's ready to be a step-mom, but she shows it. When she went to Jason's houseboat in Seattle, she found a note on the door telling her to make herself at home while Jason put Ty to bed. Melissa's “making herself at home” turned out to be cleaning up after father and son. She loves kids, and hopes to be a first-grade teacher. And kids love her--when she took Jason home to Dallas to meet her friends, their children gravitated toward Melissa. She even made Ty a box for his tooth fairy monies! If Jason's looking for a doting step-mom with extensive finger painting knowledge and summers off, Melissa's his gal.

Chemistry. We all know that Jason and Melissa can't keep their hands off each other. That's clear enough. Sexual chemistry is essential, but they have also formed an emotional connection, and their personal chemistry is evident in every conversation they have. From their first one-on-one date, they're all smiles when around each other. Unlike the other women, Melissa hasn't put a wall up, and always tells Jason when she feels upset or vulnerable. Even when tackling tough subjects like her problems with her parents, their connection seems effortless and safe. Which is probably part of the reason why they're always touching and mackin'.

Personality. First of all, she has one (Sorry, Molly, but I haven't seen much on your end). And, bonus: it's one that Jason has time and again said he finds very attractive. She's easygoing and flexible, which fits Jason's active lifestyle and adventurous philosophy. She's fun and enthusiastic, but not overbearing. It's clear that Jason likes to take the lead in the relationship, which makes him a good fit for Melissa, who is sweet and unassuming, and could use somebody strong to help rebuild her relationship self-esteem.

Cons:

The Parent Thing. So Melissa's parents were uncomfortable being on camera, so he hasn't met them, which was sad, but kind of a plus when you think about it. They didn't want such an important, intimate moment to be fabricated for entertainment value. When they meet Jason, they want to be themselves and “cherish the moment.” These sound like smart, genuine people to me—isn't that what you want in your in-laws?
The Cheerleader Thing. Melissa used to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, and it's easy for people to make assumptions about her priorities and maturity because of that title. Since getting to know her better, Jason has tossed out a bunch of misplaced notions he had about Melissa, but she's still 25, and in the way she carries herself can come across as rather naïve and innocent, despite what she says.

The Self-Confidence Thing. Over the course of the season, we've learned that everyone thinks Melissa is wonderful—except Melissa. Is she weak, or just humble? We all know at least one girl in our own lives who's like this: beautiful, fun, intelligent, and totally hard on herself. Some find it endearing, and others find it annoying. She's not assured of her own worth yet, and that may turn off the very confident Jason.
